Taranjit Singh Sandhu said India and the US can combine their strengths to provide space-related applications and services to countries across the globe.
Highlighting the immense scope to expand India-US bilateral ties in space, India's Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Friday said it is only natural that the two largest democratic countries deepen their existing space collaboration and continue working closely in exploring this final frontier.
"Both India and the US can combine their strengths to provide space-related applications and services to third countries across the globe," Mr Sandhu wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Examiner, a conservative news outlet.
"In fact, India already provides services like forest fire detection, solar energy calculation, meteorological data, and disaster management support to countries in the region, while NASA, via its Earth Observation (EO) data and other initiatives, has been a pioneer in aiding the progress towards SDGs in several parts of the world. Together, we can achieve a lot more," he wrote.
